Designing and manufacturing a new clothing line

Kickstarter success

Kristin Glen (Denver, CO) and Shannon Whitehead (Austin, TX) created Revolution Apparel a few years ago in Sydney, Australia. They wanted to create a business that combined adventure, passion, and purpose. The outcome was a women’s clothing line that’s eco-friendly.

Kristin and Shannon went through a process of designing a new piece of clothing called The Versalette.

Instead of raising capital through venture capitalists or traditional loans, (Kristin and Shannon both hate debt) they decided to raise capital and test the market by using Kickstarter. Their initial goal was to raise $20,000, but they’ve long since surpassed that mark.
